Thanksgiving was wonderful --- love being with family. Got to take my oldest two sons deer hunting for the first time, which was a huge deal for me! And the food ... oh my. Time to try and lose a few pounds again!

I *REALLY* wanna win this!

EEEEk ... why did you have to ask this.

Like 6 separate IMAP accounts ... and then, the ole' Facebook inbox, like it or not, is becoming one of my most used inboxes of all.

AMEN, bro!

Phil, yeah, I'm still testing it, but look forward to seeing how it all works.

Conner, I'm with you. I actually teach that these disclaimers seem bogus to me in my Web + Worship 2.0 seminar. Why? Just like you said ... as employees of the church (especially if we're on the pastoral team, maybe that's the difference?) ... I can't just separate my personal views from those of the church. If my personal views are controversially different than the views of the church I'm serving in ... why am I there?

I suppose it depends on what level of "controversy" or "opinion" you have. I guess I'm still out to lunch on it. IN this case, the church asked them to put that up ... so it's OK. I'm laughing at the individual employees who put it up, without the counsel of their leadership.

"I can say what I want, it's my life ... my thoughts, and my church where I work has no accountability over what I say and how I use this pulpit to communicate". Hmmm ...
My recent post 2009 Blog Recap

I've been using the WordPress plugin version of this for quite some time, and have been waiting for IntenseDebate to integrate this. So excited, but not sure I'm ready to switch back yet. Like many who are commenting here, I'd prefer it to ask the user if they want it to happen proactively, rather than requiring them to have the foresight to click the "share on facebook" box. With the WP plugin, when a FB Connect user comments, they are immediately given the option to publish it on their wall (or not). I see so much traffic coming from Facebook (honestly, I can't tell if it's from my own status updates or from people seeing the "so-and-so commented on ...." in their news updates ... but I hate to risk losing that.
My recent post FRIDAY: 3 Things YOU Should Know!

Michael,
Phew, thought we were losing a great blog! Look forward to the relaunch, you can't find a better partner than John S.

I hope we can connect some at re:create in Feb ... last year we said "hello", but now I feel like I "know" you a ton more after reading your stuff all year!

For the Kingdom,
Fred

Love the post!

Thanks, Michael - that's awesome, loving seeing your passion for great leadership and resources, even from a competitor.

I'd love to get a copy, first I admire and respect Craig and like what he brings to the table. I find that as I lead others locally as a Worship Pastor, in business as an entrepreneur, and online (as a blogger and owner/publisher of TheWorshipCommunity.Com) that these are some of the people that I really should read and follow to broaden my own leadership skills and awareness!

Thanks for the opportunity!

I just did a test from my own "fan" page ... I wrote "wall test" on the wall of my personal "fan page" ... and then immediately clicked "Home" (logged in as my regular user/profile) and my update was in the main news feed under Home. I guess my issue is ... I seldom load the home page and view all of that info - but I suppose that's no different than a profile page ... so if you post on your fan page ... it shows up in the news feed for your "fans" just as if you'd posted on your profile.
